Top tips for YOUR next job interview!

While, steering away from your weaknesses and focusing on your strengths may well put you at an advantage, your optimism and willingness to handle new responsibilities is what recruiters will like the most about you.

A job interview generally freaks us out.

How you perform in the interview decides whether you get the job or not. Sometimes, inspite of all the technical and educational skills you have in your favour, you do not get the job.

Simply because you could not manage the interview well.

Here are some common tips which if followed can help you land that dream job.

1. Never lie in a job interview

Although it looks extremely flattering and easy to lie, you must avoid lying in a job interview.

Give honest and truthful replies even if they are embarrassing.

For instance, if you have failed in a class and you are asked about it, you must be honest in your answer and handling such questions.

5. Be yourself

Appearing too nervous or too confident in an interview can both prove to be hazardous for you.

Studies show that the decision to hire a person is generally made in the first few minutes of the interview.

Hence, your first impression, in most of the cases, is the last impression. If you appear to be too nervous, it puts a question mark on your abilities to do the job and if you are too confident, it questions your ability to work in a team.

9. Show you can manage conflicts

You might face a common question like: How will you deal with a conflict situation.

A branch of this question will also be: How will you resolve the situation without affecting your relationship with your colleague/manager?

As mentioned earlier, do not blame others for the problems. If you accidently break the rule, you must give valid reasons for your disliking and ensure that you do not leave an impression that you can't work in a team.
